She Was Only Sixteen Tab

by Sam Cooke


Only Sixteen:Sam Cooke.
#23 in 1959.

#1. (Capo 5th fret for original.)
                            
She was only sixteen, only sixteen.
           
I loved her so.
                               
But she was too young to fall in love,
                      
And I was too young to know.

#2.
                                     
We'd laugh and we'd sing and do little things,
                  
that made my heart glow.
                               
But she was too young to fall in love,
                      
And I was too young to know.

CHORUS:
               
Why did I give my heart so fast?
                   
It never will happen again.
               
But I was a mere lad of sixteen,
                      
I've aged a year since then.

#3.
                            
She was only sixteen, only sixteen,
                    
with eyes that would glow.
                               
But she was too young to fall in love,
                      
And I was too young to know.

CHORUS:

REPEAT:#3.
ADD:
                               
But she was too young to fall in love,
                      
And I was too young to know.(x2)Fade.
